Monday creates its own thread in a wanton display of narcissism

We normally quaff some wine on a Sunday with dinner and all that, but we refrained last night, and unsurprisingly, I am on fire this morning getting shit done.

Not that I'll learn.
 
God I just couldn’t get out of bed this morning so I am working from home
 
Off to the launderette inabit. Ordering a rental washing right now. We really are the many not the few.

Me too PLUS I've taken the rest of the week off. There'll be MUCHO BITCHING in the office but YOU COULD ALWAYS GET OFF YOUR ARSE AND DO SOMETHING YOURSELF, YOU LAZY WITCH
 
I'm off all week due to INDUSTRIAL ACTION, not that I think the academics have seen a day of true industry in their sheltered lives.
 
Nothing fatal like, maybe just something with a laxative effect.
 
I survived. my portion control was all over the place and the kids fucking loved it. "Y'like chocolate custard?" *fills pudding section of the tray to the brim* :D
 
Ugh I found a leak under my shower. The floor underneath was very wet, I managed to soak up the water with 4 (!) kitchen rolls (sorry World) but when I turned the shower on it seemed like it was only really a small drop of water dripping down from the sealant. I’ve scraped the sealant off, @Floppet fancy a trip to Edinburgh?

Failing that, pray that I don’t end up in the downstairs neighbours flat.

Sorry, sealant is one of my hated jobs because it smells too vinegary. It's also a massive ballache trying to keep it smooth when you redo it. Top tip if you're resealing it yourself: use the back of a teaspoon dipped in either washing-up liquid or shampoo to smooth it down. Also double-check that it isn't your plughole leaking, I thought mine was sealant when it was actually the plughole waste pipe that had become dislodged slightly and I only realised a fortnight later when I'd had a bath and my fat arse must have dislodged it some more, I came downstairs to discover the dining-room full of my old bathwater.

Our last shower leak was an almost invisible crack in the shower tray.

Oh I hate SEALANT. The MESS I've made with it over the years.

:D Oh god! Thanks @lolly for settling my nerves :side-eye:

I thought it was the coming from the plug hole at first but when I put the shower on it seemed absolutely fine. But I did notice a small leak coming from the tiles. I’ll reseal tomorrow with the washing up liquid tip.
 
Oh dear. That sounds like my WORST NIGHTMARE. In fact, any DIY around here means I need to dig deep in to my purse. :evil:

I patched it with flexible sealant and it lasted another couple of years until we had it replaced.

In other news Mr S is claiming that his influence has made me LESS ECCENTRIC. Says the man who TALKS TO THE BIRDS, wears a KAGOULE inside the house all day and spends vast tracts of time watching youtube videos of men having their HAIR CUT :argh:

Just imagine what he'd be like without your positive influence.
 
electric showers are so weird to me. does the box heat the water or what's the deal?

first time I encountered one I spent an embarrassing amount of time figuring it out

Pretty much, my ex had one that caught fire while we were fucking. It was quite off-putting.
 
I had a shower at the gym today because our boiler is playing up.

The box takes in cold water from the pipe, heats it up inside and sprays it out warm.
 
We've got a small shower cubicle in the en suite, and then a bath in the bathroom, to which we've also added an electric shower. I think that's pretty standard in new(ish) houses now.

Mr L always showers at work. He says it's because he cycles and doesn't want to be in sweaty clothes all day, but really it's just because he's a tight bastard.
 
Anyone here use discogs?

I've had to resort to reporting a seller because they sent the wrong record - or at least the wrong record in the right sleeve. I asked for the correct record, or a refund for that record only (there were four items), but the seller didn't respond, twice.

Last night I reported the seller, and then apparently discogs will suspend the account if they don't reply. Within 24 hours they have replied and sent a refund. But they have also asked me to remove the negative feedback. I don't think I should, or at most I'm inclined to edit the feedback (but leave it negative) to say it was resolved only after I contacted discogs directly.

Am I being unreasonable? The seller hasn't left me feedback yet, but I assumed they did leave negative for me I could probably get it removed.

Does he shave there as well? I always see people shaving/brushing their teeth at the gym, and I see it when I happen to be in offices. I find it odd.
 
He certainly doesn't shave there. I think that's odd.

Although I suppose if you only shower there and shave every day I kind of get it.
 
I’ll usually save my morning shits until I get to the office. Heaven forbid I do it on my OWN TIME.
